I am sure you have already heard that the Northern VA housing market is softening.  There are fewer homebuyers in the market than there were in November and at this time last year.  However, What you may not have heard is there is still a severe shortage of listing in some markets of Northern VA.  Today is the best time to list your Northern VA home.

On the national market, First American’s Chief Economist Mark Fleming put it simply:

“The biggest challenge is really the availability of supply.”

When we look at available listing numbers by the National Association of Realtors (NAR), you can see that the number of homes for sale has decreased in each of the last five months.

What does this mean to home sellers?

Simply put, the best time to sell in Northern VA is when there is less competition. This combined with staging and preparing your home to sell, will guarantee you a better price and fewer hassles in the sale.

Bottom Line

If you are thinking of selling your home this year, the best time to list your Northern VA Home might be right now.
